You have a branch of the Partzuf in our world, which is the human form, in which there’s the head that decides what the body will do, like a ruler. (In truth though our body, the desire, dictates all our actions, which is why from the Kabbalists’ perspective, we’re still considered to be part of the animal kingdom). When I begin to rule over all my desires, instead of them arising and pushing me, then – and this is only after a very long and serious path, diligently following a teacher, a group, and the correct books – I begin to attain the Partzuf. Because the Partzuf is our future state: a desire that has a Restriction, Screen and Reflected Light.
Translation: Raise a child. Anthroposophy sees it. Waldorf. Every person is born with the desire to receive. How to deal with a child who wants a hug himself? I wonder how education could be different? It takes development to choose to be altruistic, but not by force, right?

Education should be through a group, in circles. There’s a method you can read about in this book in Dutch. That’s more practical exercises while this English book is more of the theory side.
Hi Marko,
That’s the idea, exactly. Everything in Preface is somehow mentioned here, so that you’ll be able to not be completely lost there. Because all one needs is some grip in order to keep going, and the Light works.
Yes. Until this point, the lessons focus on aspects of the Upper World that remind me of how I think I already am. Meaning they talking about wholeness, and I think I’m already whole, because I’m me, and I’m the center of the universe, more or less. I can think otherwise sometimes, but each one feels himself as such. I don’t feel how all of humanity are part of me (even if I can somehow imagine that at times) and thus that that true picture is shattered in me. This part of the course starts awakening that sensation a bit, it’s closer to where I actually am as opposed to where I imagine myself to be – and that confuses and disorients me. It’s actually a stronger Reforming Light that shines here, and that’s why one usually feels like leaving or starting over here.
There’s one simple Upper Light, but each tastes in it something different, according to the vessel he has prepared. Now, the Desire to Receive, on the other hand, is not simple. It’s extremely complex, according to the fact that the Creator wanted to delight the Creator in many ways.
Welcome David,
We are so excited to have you in the Graduate Environment. As you many have heard, this week we are all connected to the Annual KabU Retreat and hope you are going to be with us at this special event.In the Grad Environment, you will experience a myriad of lessons every week, and the “flagship” is what we call the Young Group. It starts every few months and in it you will embark on the practical Kabbalah journey. This is where you will be assigned a ten and learn all about the work in a ten. Your Young Group will be starting a couple weeks after the Retreat.
